RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 228,269, dated June 1, 1880.

Application filed April 6, 1880. a. model.)

To all whom it may concern! Be it known that I, DAVID H. NATION, of St. Louis, Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in Ranges, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a plan of the improved range, a portion of the top plates being removed; Fig. 2, a bottom view of the range, the bottom plate being removed; and Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, details, being vertical sections taken as follows: Figs. 3 and 4 on the line 00 w of Fig. 1, Figs. 5 and 6 on the line y y of Fig. 1, and Figs. 7 and 8 on the line 2 z of Fig. 1.

The same letters denote the same parts. The present construction is a further modification of one heretofore made, wherein the advantages of a three-flue cook-stove and range are united. Its special advantage is that the reservoir is more accessible and is better heated. it consists in the manner of constructing the rear end of the range and the tlues between the oven and the rear end.

A represents the improved range, having the fire-place B, the flue 0 leading from the fire place, and the diving-fines D D, side bottom tlues, 11 E, and centerbottom flue, F, as in the former construction. The rear end, A, of 0 the range, however, is dropped, bringing its top plate, (1, preferably at or about the level of the top 9 of the oven G, and the descending flue H, which leads from the flue F, does not extend upward to the top of the oven, but at a point below said top. and by means of a plate, h, is turned toward and is extended into the rear end, A, of the range, the upper end, h, of the ascending flue leading into the fluespace I, and thence through the flue J, above the plate h, up into the escape-flue K. The latter is made'as heretofore, saving that the strip or plate It extends continuously across the top of therange from the back a to the front a thereof. The direct .entrance to the escape-flue is at k, and can be closed by the 5 damper L.

To heat the'flue-space I the draft is as indicated in Figs. 1, 4, 6, the damper L being closed, and the currents being from the flue 0 under the flue K and through the upper end 0 of the flue D into the space I, and thence through the flue J into the flue K.

In heating the oven the damper L is closed. The two-wing damper M is also turned up to close the passages from the lines D D into the space I, and as shown in Figs. 3, 5, 7. The course of the products of combustion is then from the flue O, through the lines D D, E E,

F, H, I, J, and K.

In each case, whether heating the space I only or the latter and the oven simultaneously, the heat is applied to better advantage in heating the reservoir (which rests upon the depressed end A) than in the construction above referred to.

I claim- 1. In the range A, having the end A, constructed as described, the combination of the lines 0, D D, I, J, and K, substantially as described.

2. In the range A, having the depressed end A, the combination of the flues O D D E E F HI J K and dampers L M, substantially as described.

DAVID H. NATION.
